Summary

Each student's exam attempt has a corresponding 'Test Information' page with detailed access/interaction information: total time elapsed, start date/time, and submission date/time. For more details, see the Access Log (accessible from the same menu). This tool includes the date/time of the student's activity in an exam: test start, question saves, submission date/time, and (approximate) time per question.

If you would like to see how much time has elapsed since it a student began their exam, or if you would like more detailed information about their activity inside of an assessment, please follow the steps below. For an overview of student activity data, please see Blackboard's help page.

In the Full Grade Center, click the grey circle/arrow that appears next to the student’s grade (or next to the blue 'clock' icon, if their attempt is still in progress). From this drop-down menu, select View Grade Details.
On the Grade Details page, click View Attempts.
On the attempt view page, just below the student's name at the top of the page, click Test Information to expand that section.
Here, you can view the total time elapsed, start date/time, and submission date/time. To see more detailed information about this session, click Access Log.
The Access Log for this attempt will open a pop-up window. It provides a detailed record of the session, including the date and time of the student's activity: test start, question saves, submission date/time, and time spent on each question. Note: The 'time spent' on each question should be considered an estimate, as students may return to previous questions before answering their current one.
